SNCF: Train tickets from late May to early July are on sale from this Thursday, March 7th.

A great start to pre-summer bookings. SNCF opens the TGV Inoui and Intercités routes for sale this Thursday, March 7, for the period from May 23 to July 5, ahead of the summer school holidays.

This short period follows spring celebrations in several areas, but especially the traditional May bridges that many French people use every year.

Book early for more choice

SNCF advises travelers to book tickets as soon as sales open to have the greatest chance of having seats on as many journeys as possible and to have more choice of timetables and seats on the train, and thus be “more fortunate to be seated together when you travel”. are in the group.”

However, for travel with Ouigo, bookings are only available 45 days before departure, which is approximately a month and a half in advance. Therefore, bookings for May and June are not yet possible. For TER, the opening date is set individually depending on the region, 3–5 months before the travel date, as indicated by SNCF on its website.

The date for booking summer tickets is finally known

European trips managed by SNCF (Germany, Belgium, Spain and Switzerland) are now available for sale from 26 February for the period 23 May to 26 August. Sales of Eurostar (UK, Belgium) are also already open.

Finally, if you want to book tickets for this summer, you’ll have to wait a little longer: sales for flights from July 6 to September 11 will open this Wednesday, March 13. This will affect TGV, Intercités, as well as Ouigo (for trips until December 14).
